Introduction:

Ludic activities are necessary throughout life, particularly for children and adolescents.

Aim:

To check the influence of a system of ludic activities on the development of motor skills in children and adolescents. This experimental study relied on quasi experiment that tackles the causal relation between the variables set for this research.

Materials and methods:

The sample consisted of 30 students in two groups: control and experimental.

Results:

The practical application showed the contrasts between the post-test and the initial results, thus refusing the null hypothesis, since in every variable, the probability associated with the test statistics underwent significant differences.

Conclusions:

The ludic activity system suggested for the initial student development is viable and should be applied in other physical education classes.
